Drew A Crowd

Stadel Bros. entertained a large crowd of both old and young Saturday night, when they put in operation, their new Carousell on Jefferson Street.

The new machine which cost $7000, is a beauty, the best and most attractive merry-go-round ever put up in town. The new organ connected with the mechanism plays all the latest popular airs, and the electric facilities for lighting is perfect. The machine will be located on Jefferson Street all this week and later will begin the annual travels for the season of 1915.

Going to Move
Stadel Bros. to Start on Their 1915
Tour – Will Visit Port Allegany

Stadel Bros. will start on their 1915 tour next week with their new and handsome Merry-Go-Round. Their first stand after leaving Wellsville will be at Port Allegany, Pa. Where they will set up for two weeks.

Their new Merry-Go-Round has been in operation in Wellsville for the past two weeks and has afforded a world of pleasure and clean amusement for our citizens both old and young. The machine is simply magnificent. It is equipped with the very latest ideas in lighting and power facilities, electricity being used and was purchased at a cost of $7000. There are upwards of three hundred electric lights, giving a most brilliant effect when in operation. It has a seating capacity of seventy persons and runs without the least sign of any jar.

The Stadel Bros. are well known residents of Wellsville and are thoroughly reliable. With their new machine and everything spic and span, the season of 1915 should be as the Reporter trusts it may be a record breaker for business.
